While not exclusively focused on GB, the attention also turns to tennis as longtime rivals Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal prepare for a second-round clash.
Nadal triumphed over Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics with a score of 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, while Djokovic secured his victory against Australia’s Matt Ebden on Saturday.
Mail Sport and The National Lottery have collaborated to provide exclusive video content from our most celebrated Olympian, Sir Steve Redgrave, each day during the Olympic Games in Paris.
Sir Steve secured five gold medals throughout his illustrious career, and is widely regarded as our greatest Olympic hero. In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Team GB only clinched one gold medal – and Steve, alongside Matthew Pinsent, delivered it for the nation.
This occurred before the introduction of National Lottery funding, which has dramatically changed the fortunes of British athletes. Thanks to National Lottery players, Team GB has now become a global powerhouse, achieving 22 golds and 64 medals at the last Olympics in Tokyo.
